For those that missed this event, it was very cool. They had Frisbee dogs and JSO K9 deonstrations (I wouldnt run from them!) as well as lots of vendors and rescue groups. They even had a litte portable coffee bar that set up nearby. a good time for the entire family.
The Dig Days on the Park, on Sept 30th in Klutho Park will be HUGE with tons of events, demonstrations, and speakers…
Make sure you all come check it out!
